I did the "barley straw extract" treatment, and my pond cleared up for the
most part.
There is still a short growth of string algae, home and food to four
extremely prolific
mystery snails, but the water is clear now.

I put some watercress in the veggie filter, but it is really pretty
pathetic looking at
this point...

When I tossed watercress into my VF it grew but did not thrive. As soon as I
moved it to where a current was, it went crazy. Do you have any moving
water?
